Hi friends!
Today I am sharing a project I made
from my friend, Jessica Dayon's new book,
Precut Parade.
Jessica's book includes 9 precut-friendly quilt patterns;
3 for Jelly Rolls, 3 for Layer Cakes, and 3 for Fat Quarters!
All of the patterns in the book are beautiful, traditional designs.
I chose to do this fat quarter-friendly pattern called Sparker!

If you know me at all, you know that I love red, white, and blue quilts
They're classic, striking, and never go out of style!
So Jessica's Sparkler quilt really spoke to me.
I wanted to try something completely different though
so I tried a more colorful version using an assortment of
colors and fabric lines from my stash.
There are two blocks in this quilt so it was really fun to make!
I used the border fabric
(which is from the fabric line, Summers End by
Alison Janssen for FIGO) as the jumping-off point
for my color palette. I am a big fan of
Alison Janssen and I love the colors in that print -
oranges, pinks, lavenders, golds, and browns.
Perfect for this time of year!
For the back, I used Solar in Lavender
from Ruby Star Society's Warp and Weft Heirloom collection
by Alexia Abegg. For the binding, I used Stitch in Saddle
from the same line. They're both wovens so they're very soft!

I had my awesome quilter, Jen Ostler in Highlalnd, UT
quilt it for me using the Interlocking Orange Peel design by Karlee Porter.

I always add one of the simple quilt labels
that I get from Ever Emblem on Etsy. You can choose any of their labels
and customize them to your liking. I get the 2" cotton fold-over, sew-in labels.
This was such a fun project! Jessica always writes
fantastic patterns and there are lots of other
quilts in the book that I would love to make!
Including this Layer Cake pattern, called Two Step:
Don't we all have some precuts in our stash that we
want to turn into a quilt? Precut Parade is just the ticket there!
My Sparkler quilt is actually for sale right now
along with a bunch of other quilts!
Visit my Etsy shop HERE to check it out!
UPDATE: This quilt is sold.

You are so good with color. Both Sparkler quilts are wonderful, but the second one you nailed it!
